September HistoryWhat do the Titanic, Atlanta, and President Gerald Ford all have in common? They’re all significant parts of September History! Read through our September History article to learn more about this month.

September 1, 1985 Dr. Robert Ballard found the wreck of the Titanic off the coast of Newfoundland.

Spring Forward For Daylight Saving Time

By Wells Brothers
Thursday, February 24th, 2022

Daylight Saving Time begins on March 13, 2022. Don't forget to spring forward one hour. It’s time to “spring forward” for Daylight Saving Time and gain an extra hour of sunlight. It also means you’ll lose an hour of sleep!

Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 13, 2022.  Remember to set your clocks forward 1 hour before you head to bed on Saturday, March 12.

Springing forward and falling back may seem simple enough, but daylight saving’s history has actually been quite complex—and misconceptions about it persist today. As you prepare to reset your watches, alarms, and microwaves.

8 Things You May Not Know About Daylight Saving Time aka. D.S.T.

1. It’s “daylight saving time,” not “daylight savings time.”

2. Though in favor of maximizing daylight waking hours, Benjamin Franklin did not originate the idea of moving clocks forward.

3. Englishman William Willett led the first campaign to implement D.S.T.

4. Germany was the first country to enact D.S.T.

5. D.S.T. in the United States was not intended to benefit farmers, as many people think.

6. For decades, daylight saving in the United States was a confounding patchwork of local practices.

7. Not everyone in the United States springs forward and falls back.

8. Evidence does not conclusively point to energy conservation as a result of daylight saving.

Pre-Emergent Herbicide For Spring Weed Control

By Wells Brothers
Tuesday, January 18th, 2022

Within a month, it will be time to start applying pre-emergent herbicide for the lawn. Pick up organic and synthetic options at Wells Brothers in Plano, Texas.Within a month, it will be time to start applying pre-emergent herbicide for the lawn. Pre-emergent herbicides do one thing and that’s stop weed seeds from growing. Hence the Latin term “pre,” meaning before. Post-emergent herbicides kill after the plant is growing. Hence, the Latin term “post”, means a large stick in the ground that you attach a fence too. You need to determine the square footage of your lawn before heading to Wells Brothers. Also, don’t forget that pre-emergents do not have fertilizer in them.

The synthetic products that Wells Brothers recommends are Gallery for the control of broadleaf weeds and Dimension for the grasses. The 10-pound bag of Gallery will cover 2,000 square feet. This application will last around 4 months. Dimension is available in a 12-pound bag that covers 3,500 square feet and in a 35-pound bag that covers 10,000 square feet. Dimension can be reapplied every 4 weeks.

The all-natural product is called Corn Gluten Meal. It’s available in powder and granulated forms. The powder works faster but is a mess to deal with. The granulated is slower to activate but easier to apply. The application rate for both is 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet and needs to be applied now.

We get asked a lot about applying pre-emergent and fertilizer at the same time. The answer is you apply one, then the other. Do not mix them in the spreader at the same time.
Check out the Wells Brothers easy-to-read schedule for the application of fertilizers and pre-emergent. I hope these will fit your needs. Please note that these are guides. Weather conditions such as rain and heat will alter the timing of these products.

Remembering September 11th

By Wells Brothers
Wednesday, August 18th, 2021

Remembering September 11th today and every day.20 years ago September 11, 2001, the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history occurred.

Remembering September 11th today and every day.

20 years ago September 11, 2001, the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history occurred as four hijacked passenger jets were crashed, killing 2,977 people. Four teams of Muslim terrorists, operating inside the U.S., boarded flights then forcibly commandeered the aircrafts.

American Airlines Flight 11 carrying 92 people and United Airlines Flight 175 carrying 65 people. Both had departed Boston for Los Angeles. Both jets were diverted by the hijackers to New York City where they were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center. The impact and subsequent fire caused both 110-story towers to collapse, killing 2,752 persons including hundreds of rescue workers and employees in the towers.

American Airlines Flight 77, with 64 people on board departed Dulles (Virginia) for Los Angeles. Flight 77 was diverted to Washington, D.C., and flown into the Pentagon, killing everyone on board and 125 military personnel inside.

Also hijacked was United Airlines Flight 93, with 44 people on board departed from Newark for San Francisco. Flight 93 was diverted toward Washington and crashed in a field in Pennsylvania during an attempted takeover by the passengers.

We Will Never Forget!!!

The 9/11 Memorial opened on September 11, 2011, the 10th anniversary of the attacks. It is located on the western side of the former World Trade Center complex where the Twin Towers once stood. The Memorial park surrounds two enormous reflecting pools set within the footprints of the North and South towers.  The names of people who were killed in the 9/11 attacks in New York, at the Pentagon, and on Flight 93, as well as in the 1993 bombing at the WTC, are etched in bronze around the edges of the pools.

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (also known as the 9-11 Commission), an independent, bipartisan commission created by congressional legislation and the signature of President George W. Bush in late 2002, was chartered to prepare a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, including preparedness for and the immediate response to the attacks.
